This
true-to-scale Formula One-style steering wheel is actually an
LCD alarm clock with date and timer (central display panel)
and additional features such as a temperature and humidity gauge
(upper display panel). The steering wheel, measuring 29 cm (11.5
inches) in diameter, is made of ABS plastic with a textured,
dip-printed carbon fibre appearance and the rim covered with
real back-skin leather. It is mounted on an aluminium stand
with a hub that is self-centring. A spring-loaded paddle shift
assembly is fitted to the back of the steering panel to replicate
the true feel of gear changing. The steering wheel clock is
powered by 2 AA batteries (not included). All the multi-function
buttons serve a purpose: to illuminate the LCD clock, set the
timer, set the alarm, set the date or switch from Celsius to
Fahrenheit (and vice versa). Besides being a decorative timepiece
for the desk or dresser, race enthusiasts will also enjoy setting
and adjusting the features available on this Formula One steering
wheel clock, giving them a feel of being behind the steering
wheel of a race car. |
